What do you know about COBie?

Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) is a data format for the publication of a subset of building model information focused on delivering building information not geometric modeling. It is closely associated with building information modeling (BIM) approaches to design, construction and management of built assets, and was devised by Bill East of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, who authored a pilot standard in June 2007.
COBie helps capture and record important project data at the point of origin, including equipment lists, product data sheets, warranties, spare parts lists, and preventive maintenance schedules. This information is essential to support operations, maintenance and asset management once the built asset is in service. More to come on COBie

Understanding Rotating Regions in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

By
Image
By GSC SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation offers some great tools for analyzing rotating region problems. There are a lot of capabilities within the tool but, often times, there isn’t a lot of information about these capabilities. This article is meant to be a comprehensive guide to everything related to rotating region problems within SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. This will include explaining the different types of rotating region problems as well as the best practices associated with each one of them. There are two main types of rotating regions in Flow Simulation; global and local rotating regions. Both of these types are available for all fluid types; Newtonian and Non-Newtonians fluids. Global Rotating Region The global rotating region assumes you have a model that is completely symmetric about the rotating axis and all the components within the computational domain are rotating at the speed of the rotating reference frame. Due to the fact this type...
